!BIR: Bond p648

!BIR-MARR-DEA: Vitals for both Waltham and Westminster Mass.; died in Westminster, 1803.

RW notes: He resided in Westminster, Worcester, MA; his home is one of the oldest buildings in Westminster and is occupied by his direct descendants. Several years before the Revolution, he was made a captain of a unit of the local militia by King George III,and drilled his men on the lawn in front of his house. He also served as a tax collector under the king. Before the War, he gave up his commission from King George and remained loyal to the colonies. During the war, captured Hessian officers and their orderlies were quartered in his house. The captives were helpful on the farm and assisted in planting an apple orchard on the estate. When one of the Whitney sons was very ill, the Hessian physician was summoned from Rutland and is credited with saving the son's life. Another of the Hessian officers made charcoal sketches of Mr. & Mrs Whitney and copies of the sketches hang in the Historical Museum.
